You did not reply to @jacquesm 's post. If you want to make sure the salary expectations from the applicant and the employer, you only have to 1. tell the employee what salary range the employer is willing offer, or 2. ask the applicant for their desired salary level. The current salary is NOT your business. If the applicant earns 1x salary now and wants 2x salary and decide to look for a new job that offers that, how does it help the applicant to tell the recruiter that he earns 1x in his current job? You basically ask the employee to play a cards game but have them all in the open for you. "This is called sales". Yeah, involving an engineer lacking any business skills and two weasels.
